The Polish government has introduced a major legislative proposal, UD402, which mandates the elimination of the off-road maneuvering test for Category B licenses and shifts to a fully traffic-based examination by 2027. <\/p>\n
The Ministry of Infrastructure has published draft law UD402, which reforms the driver training and examination system. The most significant change is the removal of the closed-circuit maneuvering portion of the Category B practical exam, meaning future tests will take place exclusively in public traffic. While the maneuvering area will no longer be mandatory for training centers, instructors may still utilize it if they deem it necessary for student progress.<\/p>\n
The reform introduces a digital student logbook that utilizes GPS to track routes, session duration, and instructor data. Additionally, all internal and state practical examinations must be recorded for audio and video, with recordings stored for 90 days to assist in oversight and investigative procedures.<\/p>\n
The validity of the theoretical exam will be limited to 24 months from the date of passing, ending the current system of permanent validity. The reform also raises requirements for instructors, who will now need a secondary education and at least three years of holding a driver’s license.<\/p>\n
To reduce administrative burden, the government will limit candidates to a single practical exam attempt per day, unless a failure is caused by external factors like vehicle breakdown. Candidates who fail the practical road test but previously passed the maneuvering portion for other vehicle categories will have those maneuvering results honored for up to 24 months.<\/p>\n
The new regulations will be phased in over several years, starting with most provisions on January 1, 2027. Subsequent stages include new instructor requirements and exam recording mandates in July 2027, the launch of a new Examination Center in 2028, and the full implementation of the digital student logbook by January 1, 2029.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
